Chapter 149: Su Jing: I was just worrying about how to find you, and you came to Truth Technology yourselves?

~6 min read 1,194 words

Swish! The sound of turning pages slowly drifted over.

Yan Qingxue's cold voice followed immediately: "When a peaceful life opens another door leading to a more interesting world, it is indeed hard to refuse."

Zhao Zhu was noncommittal: "As far as I know, most of Destiny are like this; we were all invited by Ketaer to join."

"Then, the next question!"

It was time to ask the most critical question.

Su Jing spoke directly: "What is the truth behind the so-called world heading toward destruction?"

"Why will the world head toward destruction? No, it should be said: why will civilization head toward destruction!"

After all, the previous civilization had vanished.

But the current civilization still exists! The world still exists! It is just that a civilization whose technology had developed far beyond the current era had perished!

Moreover, what Ketaer said implied the same.

The current civilization would follow in the footsteps of the previous one, while he was preserving the seeds of civilization.

In other words, he was certain that the world would not be destroyed; only civilization would be destroyed!

Hearing this, Zhao Zhu spoke with a very helpless tone: "I don't know either."

"I only know that it seems related to time; it appears to involve the Time System!"

"Ketaer only said that we must create the power of a Time System King; that is the only way to deal with the destruction of civilization!"

"But beyond that, I don't know."

"Ketaer didn't say. We once pressed him, but he was unwilling to answer, and we had no choice."

Time System again! Su Jing raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Did Ketaer say what secret the prophecy and the Time System are hiding?"

"Prophecy? Oh, you mean the prophecy that a King will be born from the Time System? I don't know that." Zhao Zhu shook his head:

"But I am very certain that this prophecy was released by someone sent by Ketaer."

"However, just as before, when it involves true secrets, Ketaer never brings them up voluntarily."

"No, that's not quite right. It should be said that even if we ask, he won't say."

"It's as if there are taboos within, things that cannot be discussed casually."

"But he is like that, so we only grow more curious. Therefore, many of us privately conducted our own investigations into the ruins left by the previous civilization, searching for relevant clues."

"But what we found were all encrypted texts that were completely unintelligible."

"Previously, Zhou Ling, a member of Destiny, who was reportedly a forensic doctor before joining Destiny, once directly asked Ketaer about these texts during a Destiny meeting."

"But Ketaer only answered that these were about the truth of the world's destruction, and that was the end of it."

Text!

Hearing this, Su Jing and Jiang Li exchanged a glance, their faces naturally showing deep thought.

Those texts, weren't they the ones on the stone tablets they found in the northern forests of Oulu! Thinking of this, Su Jing spoke: "Do you have records of those encrypted texts that Destiny found?"

"Yes." Zhao Zhu pressed his Ring, and a projection instantly appeared.

On the projection were clearly rows and rows of text.

Jiang Li picked up a tablet so Yan Qingxue could see these texts.

"These are..."

Yan Qingxue frowned slightly, her cold eyes memorizing all the text.

Then she compared them with the book in her hand and the text portions found previously.

She fell into thought.

Su Jing was also thinking about how exactly to decrypt these texts.

But just then.

Zhao Zhu suddenly thought of something.

"Right!"

"In Ketaer's plan, he needs to use the Power of Creation to fuse all the current power of the Time System to create the strongest Time System King! 'Because current technology is insufficient, and the power systems involved are too complex, it cannot be completed smoothly!'"

"That is why he needs the Power of Creation."

Hearing this.

Su Jing realized; no wonder they needed the Power of Creation! So that was the purpose! Destiny's technology was insufficient to complete a Knight System of that level, so they could only place their hopes on the Power of Creation of the Wish Machine! "Hmph!!!"

Jiang Lingying's dissatisfied voice rang out then, drawn out long, clearly very angry: "So the existing Time System power includes my Time Advent, right?"

Zhao Zhu gave an awkward smile.

The answer was obvious.

"Hmph!"

"What a trouble, using my Time Advent Card to fuse with other powers!"

Sitting in the chair, Jiang Lingying's narrow eyes were full of displeasure!

Across from her, Yan Qingxue remained completely still, simply continuing to compare the texts.

And the little assistant Jiang Li, probably sensing her Speaker's current displeasure, cleared her throat lightly and said: "Then they will be greatly disappointed; the plan for the Power of Creation has completely failed."

Hearing this, Jiang Lingying's beautiful eyes instantly lit up: "Right~"

"The Power of Creation is on Su Jing!"

"Then my Time Advent Card shouldn't be used as some strange fusion material."

She hadn't finished her happy words.

Zhao Zhu spoke up quietly: "Um..."

"Ketaer said that the core of Truth Technology's satellite, Truth, contains part of the previous civilization's Satellite Ark, and once that Ark is activated, it could fuse all the powers to create the Knight System Ketaer needs!"

Jiang Lingying: "."

The smile on her face vanished in an instant!

"Truth Technology!"

"I'm setting out right now!"

She immediately stood up, preparing to lie in wait for them.

But Yan Qingxue held her back.

She only heard her say:

"Satellite Ark — that thing actually exists?!"

"You know about it?" Jiang Lingying looked at her in surprise.

"What's so surprising about that." Yan Qingxue released her hand, then raised her cool, clear eyes: "Earlier, I conducted a full-spectrum inspection of Satellite Truth to guard against any contingencies Evolto might have left behind."

"As Ketaer said, part of Satellite Truth's core — to be precise, its most important data storage section — uses a core left behind by the previous civilization."

"My grandfather, the founder of Truth Technology and the creator of Satellite Truth, originally excavated part of the previous civilization's ruins, and within them found the so-called core of the 'Satellite Ark.'"

"But is it really called Ark? Does it mean Noah's Ark — carrying human civilization forward into continuation? It does match everything the previous civilization has done so far."

"Then there's a piece of bad news now."

"Bad news?" Su Jing frowned.

"Mm. The data core section of the Satellite Ark has already begun to revive!!" Yan Qingxue said softly.

"Mm-hm?!!"

Jiang Lingying was instantly dumbfounded.

"Revived?"

Yan Qingxue cast her a casual glance: "I just said, I conducted a full inspection of Satellite Truth, and then I discovered that section of the core existed."

"At the time I thought it was a contingency left by Evolto, and I was about to purge it — but unexpectedly, during the process I discovered that it seemed to be another core, revived from within Satellite Truth's data!!!"

"A core data that exists independently, separate from Satellite Truth!"
